How to Brew & Store This Tea

Refreshing Floral Aroma and Pleasant Aftertaste

Ali Shan tea is a representative of Taiwanese high mountain tea with a fruity and refreshing taste. It offers a great balance of quality and price, making it a popular high mountain tea recommended by HOJO.

HOJO's Ali Shan tea is Qing Xiang type/ green type, which is close to green tea in taste, with a refreshing sensation reminiscent of fruits, honey and flowers. It is also characterized by a faintly sweet aftertaste.

If you can't forget the delicious "oolong tea" you once had in Taiwan, please try HOJO's Ali Shan tea.

The Standard of High Mountain Tea

In Taiwan, oolong tea harvested at an altitude of over 1000 meters is called high mountain tea. Ali Shan tea gardens are located at 1500 meters, making it a standard high mountain tea. While tea like Li Shan tea grown at 2400 meters is also good, it tends to be extremely expensive. In that sense, Ali Shan tea offers a great balance of quality and price and is highly recommended.

Can Be Brewed Up to 6 Times?!

Using 5g of tea leaves for 200cc of water, you can brew up to 6 times. When drinking at work, you can simply put the tea leaves in a mug or cup and pour hot water. When you finish drinking, just add more hot water.
